...like the taste of rusty tap water

As colors that don't exist

 & the taste of rusty tap water

    birds that can't fly

     trying to verbalize the sky,

fine line breaking day & night

   passive-aggression's coercion,

like a broken headboard's recall

  or inviting a nastyass honey badger to lunch,

       difference 'tween enraged

                   & compliant ambiguity ~

  

     that's how much I miss you...

This has to be the loveliest dissing a guy ever got... Such elegant words for such an ignoble ending. Excellent writing, Frieda, my friend!

[Frieda P]

You have to remain a lady even when freaking the fook out, ya know? ;) haha

Wow...I love this. Very well put and really like the song to go with it. Great job expressing yourself.

[Frieda P]

Thanks muchly, jazz'd you enjoyed....

[redzone]

Nope, never ever ask a honey badger to lunch, unless of course you miss them or it's not a y ending day... someone has riled you Frieda, hope you are ok... rants help of course, but being treated better is much better...

the really bad taste of sorrow...that is honey that has become hard and inedible...

the wording is superb...and really hits hard to the heart.

I'm guessing not that much. I'm pretty sure this is what we call dissing. Or as the kids say, " This guy just got owned!" Haha

[Frieda P]

Yeah my kids say pwned....I guess you could say that. ;) haha

[Kayleigh]

Let's just say you kicked this guy... Hard. ;))
